Hugh O'Neill's Century of Irish Life | Ireland News

Hugh O’Neill, turning 105 on September 7, is a living archive of Ireland’s transformation—from War of Independence scars to modern tech chaos. Born in 1921, he remembers cowboys and Indians with a working horse, married Diane for 58 years, and lived through farming, PR gigs, and fruit-growing in Wicklow. He still cracks jokes, struggles with smartphones, and thinks old printers are fine. His wisdom? Don’t let others’ advice box you in—find your own path. And yes, Ireland? Still marvelous, globally impactful. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
